The Other Way Around

Jonás Trueba / ES, FR, 2024 / 114 min.

Celebrating your divorce after 15 years of marriage is an original idea. Jonás Trueba’s tale of the divorcing Madrid couple Ale and Alex is a clever, airy ode to the perfect break-up and won the prize for Best European Film in Cannes.

Filmmaker Ale and actor Alex, who p[lays the lead in many of the latter’s films, have had a stable marriage for almost 15 years. However, it’s hit its limit, curiosity has faded and it is time to separate and for the two to once more have their own lives.

Nothing new one might think, bar that Ale remembers something her father said. He was of the opinion that a break-up between long-time lovers deserves just as much attention as a marriage – so why not celebrate the divorce with your family, friends and acquaintances to inaugurate each other’s new lives?
